How to make these Bedside Tables

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/...
These bedside tables took far too long to complete. I was struggling with the 40°C + summer temperatures in my workshop, then we went away for nearly a week on holiday, then it was Christmas and with the kids being on school holidays I've been busy and struggled to get them finished.
It's good to get them out of the way so I can get back to normal and start producing regular videos!
I mentioned the pine chipping in the video, it was reclaimed from old furniture and was extremely dry and brittle, not the easiest to work with.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo

[@regulovanduck4696]

we were all thinking we are woodworkers, and then there is you; A real craftsman.

[@karenstimson2683]

Square drawer joints, hand-turned pulls, unique sliding mechanism, and more--details that take a useful piece into the realm of fine fine furniture. Beautiful!

[@boryscholewinski4370]

"this sounds like Im making excuses..." Dude. As if any of us watching, was in position to evaluate your work, let alone in position to point out any flaws... We are not. Your skill is impeccably exquisite.

[@aloras405]

Honestly, everyone makes mistakes. He realized that he needed to go back and fix something. Why would we fault him for that? It actually made a great learning tip for beginners.

[@aloras405]

And can you please explain how I misunderstood?

[@boryscholewinski4370]

@@aloras405 I did not fault him. On the contrary. If he makes an error its ok and there is no need for any excuse from Pask.

[@aloras405]

I know you weren’t. I was agreeing with you. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Maybe my wording is off.

[@squeedum4893]

I'd be more than happy with the all-plywood prototype!

Take breaks, the people that value content solely on its frequency do not value the content enough.

[@Joe___R]

That is a nice mid-century modern design. It was the boiled linseed oil that turned the pine yellow but now you know what not to use if you want to keep your white woods white.

[@jamesbrooks2132]

"My wife put in an order...", you're to funny Neil!! I'm buying my first table saw tomorrow during my lunch hour. It's the last piece of tech I need for my shop. Totally inspired by you and the Makers' Mob. Best of blessings on you mate! Keep the videos coming... -A bored Yankee stuck in Tennessee.

[@davewilliams6172]

Enjoy building up the workshop James, it is going to be fun!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks James! Good luck with the workshop and enjoy your new tablesaw! :)

[@doubledarefan]

You are not gonna use your new table saw to prepare your lunch, are you❓

[@xX_Skraith_Xx]

Enjoy your table saw and best of success with your projects! I found my table saw to be the tool that most sped up my projects and opened a whole lot of new doors and options. I'm sure you won't regret it!

[@Vikingwerk]

"It's the last piece of tech I need for my shop" he says. Bold words there. Odds are, six weeks from now you'll be at a flea market and see some tool you had no idea existed that solves exactly a problem you're having with a project. Everyone know that is how tools work. One more... one more... one more...

[@lewerim]

Hats off for working in those temps. I'm in Arizona in the US and we have temps like that and above all summer. It forces me indoors....

[@bluephreakr]

Everybody in that square knapp video was chomping at the bit calling it a Pask joint when the man is too humble to even call it that. What a guy - such sensibility is rare to find these days.

[@amdomag]

What a woodworking mastery. Beautiful joinery.

[@simonr6793]

I love how you said " it was a rushed job as we are going away!" Even your rushed jobs turn out pretty damn good. Enjoy your time away, looking forward to seeing what you make next!

[@PaskMakes]

When I realised I wasn't going to get it done before new went away (and before Christmas) then I actually took my time to finish it! :)

[@livinlos1]

A couple of beautiful pieces of furniture....

[@alexisv3875]

These beside tables are the perfect addition to any star wars fan's bedroom. Love them.

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

43 deg C! I sure hope you were taking lots of water! You get ta thumb up just for that! The tables look great too!

[@Dan3043]

I almost wish you would've filmed your wife's reaction when she saw the final product. Those side tables are beautiful. She's a lucky lady, you're very talented!

[@kovamaps9379]

I subbed after 3 4 watched videos. Quality is great, no unnecesary talking and OVER talking... Thanks sir, actually we can learn something

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Nice bedside tables

[@momphard]

These are truly lovely. And bravo for realizing a drawer doesn't need to live in a box.

[@JoshuaRilliet]

Hello Neal, very nice these little bedside table. I hope you are not too close to the fires ravaging your country at the moment, and I also hope, despite the fact that summer is not yet over at your place, that it will stop the most quickly possible. Good luck to all the Australians who live this terrible moment 🙏

[@Rouverius]

Glad you had some time to recharge. Nothing wrong with that! And those seriously lovely end tables seem to prove that point well.

[@DanKoning777]

Videos are typically 1 of 2 things: *ppl saying nothing or they won't stop talking.* Yours is the balance it should be all while giving us great content as well. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@petergamache5368]

I love the laser-guided tapering jig ... oh wait, he did that by hand. And only planed it for a few seconds... [skill envy] :)

[@DynaZor]

I feel obligated to say, even if it's tactless; You do know that it's mostly sped up, don't you?

[@marcia.1734]

Hi Neil, I love your videos. No stupid talk, no music. Just how and why. That is exactly what I need. I've learned a lot and I'm always inspired by your work. I could watch a new video every day. Please keep it up. Greetings from Germany.

[@almaylin464]

The yellowish appearance of the pine give a hint of yellow heart look at least on camera and I love your calibers you used doing the turning I often use mine just like it

[@jones_trees_and_treen]

Nice project, Neil. I love to see you using that plane you made. What a great feeling using your own tools.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! I love using the jack plane and I find myself using it all the time. Even when there's a more suitable plane for a task. :)

[@julianlech8505]

You did a great job. The drawer joint is very unique. I like it.

[@johnandress1233]

I missed you Neil, glad you had a good bit of rest. You can tell that making is in your blood, it is in mine too. I have learned a lot from you and God willing I hope to learn a lot more.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much John! :)

[@tracybowling97]

I love how simple these tables look. But when you build them, it doesn't seem so simple. It is a great look!

[@DynaZor]

He used only wood and glue (and oil) no screws, rails, plastic edge supports, prints, fake veneers, melamin or paints, etc... And it's far superior, even physically compared to the common "designer" furniture Some would he could made it easier, I call it the mastery of the art

[@samanthadean1083]

You, sir, top any IKEA I have ever patronized! Bravo!!!

[@Aprendeartesania]

Eres un maestro de la madera. Voy a tener que ver todos tus videos desde el principio, no quiero perderme nada de lo que muestras. Un gran trabajo.

[@phil.pinsky]

Absolutely loved this video Neil. I like seeing the brilliant jigs you use and how you always show the corrected mistakes.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Phil - glad you enjoyed it mate! :)

[@toms4123]

Very nicely done

[@chrissalch693]

Using a wrench as a fixed sized caliper is a neat trick!

[@aaaaaaaaaa697]

Just lovely

My name is Jânio I live in Brazil, o. For me, he is a great teacher with his beautiful works. I learned a lot and changed my life. Thank you.

[@zoyab5593]

All the joinery in these is simply beautiful...

[@DaveJHarry]

Stunning. I love the two tone colouring and it's heartening to see use of the native hardwood; so many woodworking videos are based in the US and are centred around walnut and maple. The acacia grain and colour looks beautiful in its own right and your selection of boards for the drawer fronts has not gone unnoticed.

[@silent1876]

😊😊😢😅Llll

[@achardjc]

Your design and craftsmanship are to be envied. Thank you for sharing.

[@drmkiwi]

So many nice features to these bedside tables with drawers that all seem to work well together. No carcase for the drawer breaks the rules and makes them unique! Thanks for the vid. Cheers, David.

[@spxyx]

Very nice project. I like the more yellowed finish on the pine. The exposed joint on the drawers is a very nice touch!

[@jennieanddavis]

Love how unique these are - your style really came through. Always enjoy your videos!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! :)

[@SouthpawDavey]

They will last 200 years mate. Great design and the tenons and joints pop I like to see the joinery. Nice to see you back. Cheers Dave.

You are a delight to watch. Keep up this lovely craftsmanship, please.

[@cabman86]

I understand the heat. I live in Louisiana. We've been having almost 100F for two weeks. I finally put air conditioning in the shop.

[@TheE9climber]

How can anyone put a thumbs down on this? Your‘e a true craftsman and artist! I‘m stunned by your level of creativity and skill and a bit envious ;)

[@fishehfishehofdeath]

This whole channel is such a pleasant combination of hand techniques, efficient use of cool technology, and genuine knowledgable craftmanship. Idk what it is, but watching you make stuff gives me some hope for the world.

[@deezynar]

I complimented you on your last video, and as I was watching this one I saw that the grain on the spline was oriented the wrong way, and I immediately thought, "Awe man, I'm going to have to chew him out a bit for that on this one." But then you caught it yourself, and came through like a champ. I really love how you know what you're doing. Lots of people don't understand how wood expands and contracts, and they don't design to accommodate it. Many also don't know how to orient wood grain for maximum strength. And it's common to see people use their tools wrong, or just say all sorts of incorrect things. I can relax while watching your vids. Although you had me excited there for a minute on this one, you pulled back on the stick before piling in. But most of all, I love that you are creative. That joint, for instance, is pure genius. It's strong, attractive, reasonably easy to make, and its self aligning. But mostly, it's different, and that's exciting. These stands are well built, and attractive. I'm sure that your wife will be very pleased with them. May I ask you, what was, or is, your main job?

[@jimx1169]

Lovely work as always, Neil. All shop work for me stops at 35C, you're a trooper for continuing to 40C+!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Jim! I'd stop at 30°C but then living in Queensland nothing would get done! ;)

[@colinhawkins8265]

Nice to have you back. Good on you for taking a break. Burnout is real. Beautiful work on the tables! It's always fun to watch and see what innovative technique you come up with next.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Colin! :)

[@bmac3933]

For those of us in Fahrenheit land, that's 104F. Wow, that's very hot to be working in the shop.

[@hekios888s6]

Beautiful

[@ctcollinthib]

Very clever trick with the wrench on the lathe.

[@Fredatbedrock]

They look great👍

[@atariks1475]

Lovely design pieces, Neil. The drawer pulls are so nice. If I ever need to make pulls for something, these will be the inspiration. Charge as long as you need too. We will be here when you are ready to show us such neat projects.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Lennart! I had a couple of ideas for the drawer pulls but I was pleased I went with these! :)

[@aaudain1]

Wonderful great job

[@Frostfly]

Glad to hear you've recharged, Your pace is...Impressive, and i couldn't do it. Take care of yourself, and be safe down there.

[@brettbeatnick]

I think the pine looks good. Didnt look as yellow in the natural light at the end. Great job

[@mecky1963]

Neil, I think you are my hero. Always a great pleasure to watch. Thank you for showing! Greets from Germany.

[@gregmislick1117]

Awesome Neil! The color change of the pine nicely offsets the darker wood I think, I like it better than the lighter color of the pine during the build. Thanks for the reduex on the splines ! I was sitting here trying to figure out what you knew that I didn't, after all, you're SO much better at all of this than I am....all is right in the Universe once again!!

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Loved this build Pask. I'm a big fan of spline joints, and also bridle joints which fill a similar need. Those bedside tables came out really well, impressive stuff. I need to finish my bandsaw build and get back into the joinery and furniture world! Cheers from Tassie, Craig

[@BrianBoniMakes]

Elegant design. I guess I like pine because the yellow looks good to me.

[@brokensquidwoodshop4209]

I like how the drawer joinery is exposed always.... I'd also say I've made that spline mistake more times than i can count. Only thing that might have been better was a reaction. Good work Sir, keep it up.

[@PaskMakes]

The whole design was around the drawer joint being exposed! I'd like to think I won't make the spline mistake again! Thanks! ;)

[@alexandrepereira9527]

You do a great job with wood and take very beautiful pictures too.Congratulations

[@nicolaslois626]

You are the best! I'd love to have a workshop like yours and the clarity of your voice over in these videos! Take all the breaks you need if you are coming up with things like this!!

[@yergenflergen72]

Pask... dude... good god man, you are a master craftsman. Thanks for putting these videos out there, boss!

[@santosierra8764]

I wouldn't even try to do a table like that. Here in the US i don't have the time to invest in a table that is going to take a tremendous amount of time to build. Good Job!

You deserve a break mate. Every item you build on here is always a pleasure to watch. Lovely project buddy. Stay safe chap

[@sickwilly1171]

Stunning design and as always superb craftsmanship. Kudos, sir.

[@descoiatorul]

WOW! This is just next-level craftsmanship.

[@phbrinsden]

Beautiful. Interesting design and great skills. I agree with the earlier posting, frequency is not the main thing, design, craftsmanship, problem solving, I.e. content is the thing. I really thought I had you on the grain direction of the loose tendons ..... then you fixed it. Enjoy the trip and a chance to recharge. I live in Texas and I understand the 40 degree thing! Best.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

I really like how you made these! That tip to use a wrench to gauge the size of the knob when you are turning it is great!

[@unclepewter4161]

The Grant Alexander if you sharpen the short side of the wrench you can use it to cut the tenon , just get it close then use the modified wrench to make it exact

[@TheGrantAlexander]

@@unclepewter4161 thanks Peter, that's an even greater idea ( and a way to use all the random wrenches laying about)

[@crjordan4886]

I'm not quite sure what to say! I watched with the sound off as I always do, it helps me concentrate on the procedure. But I was so impressed that I will watch many more times! I love your techniques, your home made tools. I was amazed by how simple the tables look at first glance, but the realized just how complicated the build is. Thank you, Jordan

[@matthewsmith4391]

First video of yours if watched. Love all the self made jigs and tools. The floating tenon machine is by far the best self made one I have seen. Great skills.

[@amo_serlatina8855]

Don’t know why I’m watching this but it’s so meditative ☺️

[@Kevin-wo3kp]

That, Sir, is a work of art. Thanks for sharing. All the best.

[@negotiableaffections]

They are absolutely beautiful, the stain enhanced the contrast too. During the glue up, I thought you'd taken the term 'legs' rather seriously, they way you pinned them down to prevent them running away, but in fact it was a demonstration of how you'd planned the clamping angles to achieve all the neccessary pressure points. Great work, I hope the R & R was befitting of the work that earned it! If Mrs Pask Makes doesn't like them, please let me know the shipping costs to the UK... [For the tables not Mrs Pask!]

Haha! Thanks very much Keith! :)
